Nokia [NOK] has announced the Nokia X5-01 over at the Nokia Connection event in Singapore. The new device from the X-Series range of phones is designed for those who enjoy music and movies on the go.

Design wise, the Nokia X5 looks like it’s almost a square in shape. It comes in 4 colours which are blue, pink, green and black and leans towards those who want to text, email and use social networks while on the go as well as those who enjoy music.

Just like the Nokia X6, the X5 is supplied with the Comes With Music service (depending on country) and the Surprise Me is basically a random track player that is accessed by spinning your phone. [Read more…]

The HTC EVO 4G is a new smartphone on the market launching just last week. Already, someone has decided to do a scratch test on the screen to see how the screen holds up under the strain of a razor blade, key and a screw. The reason the scratch test was done was due to a screen defect and the device having to be returned… so the owner thought it would be good to test how durable the screen it.

Surprisingly the screen held out very well with the owner saying that there was “absolutely no scratch on the phone.”

The same test was performed on the lens of the 8 megapixel camera around the back and rather than using glass there, it appears that the HTC EVO 4G uses plastic or regular glass as it scratched too easily. [Read more…]

Remember a couple of weeks back we posted about the Motorola DROID 2 keyboard showing up? It now appears that the keyboard was indeed from the Motorola DROID 2 as Droid Life managed to get their hands on the actual device.

The Motorola DROID 2 gets rid of the weird optical pad that sat to the right of the keyboard on the original DROID which is nice to see.

The handset it’s self looks very similar to the DROID 1 with the keyboard being the only major change in the device. [Read more…]

When Apple [AAPL] announced the Apple iPhone 4 the other day, one of the new features called FaceTime was announced that would “finally” bring video calling to a mobile phone. However, we have seen this in the UK for maybe 7 or even 8 years now, but anyways!

We suspected the other day that companies like Skype would look to using or integrating with FaceTime that would allow video calls to reach beyond the current iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 requirement that is in place. If Skype could integrate it could allow the iPhone 4 to make video calls to millions of users on Skype and other video services.

Pocket-Lint spoke to Skype about this where they said it…

“would welcome the opportunity to work with Apple”, when it comes to enabling Skype video calls on the new iPhone 4.
